Commencement Day.
JOSEPH DANA MILLER.
Marching slowly one by one,
With their faces like the sun,
In their white robes, like aorae fair
Phantoms wave of sky and air,
Stern the old preceptor stands,
Grasps the rule within his hanls,
. Grim and selemn as he looks,
With a wise air learned from books.
Neath his steady, sunken eye.
Something softer I decry,
O, child-hearted pedagogue,
Fortrraattis loves the, rogue.
Thou a knarled oak bent by storm,
Cherish in a satyr's form; x
Will they love thee; thy divine,
All the sweetness that is thine;
la the hard liDes of thy face.
Deeper tenderness can trace.
They have seenjhy fingers stray
In that kindly, absent way,
With thy hand caressing laid
On the head of some bright maid.
While thy face a giory swept,
And a sudden radiance leapt
To those faded, snnken eyes
Like a flash from clouded skies.
Ah, he holds their sunny locks
Sweeter than his dreary books,
Tender master, little flock,
I shall envy not, nor mock,
What are empires and great things,
Lands, and jewels, and crowns of
Kings,
All the wealth sunk in the seas,
To be high in hearts like these?
rvUBYrS LETTER
A letter from Sir. J. V. Rubv,
Union City, Ind., says' "I have used
your Clarke's Extract of Flax (Pa
pillon) Cough Cure and find it a
complete), cure for deep seated cold.
It has done more than two of our
most skillful physicians. My chil
dren had the Whooping Congh and
with the f id of your Cough Cure,
they had it Very light compared with
my neighbor's children who did not
take it. I believe it to be the best
cough cure in the market." So it is.

Epoch.
The Ir&usiiiou from luuj.;, iiiigHiinp and
painfnl sick'is to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a
remarkable(event is treasured in the memo
ry and the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in praise
of Electiic Bitters. So many feel they owe
their rc-sioration to her.lth, to the use of the'
Grent Alterative and Tonic. It j on are
troubled with any disease of the kidueys,
liver or stomach, of long or shor,t standing
yon will surely ftkd relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at 50c. and SI per bottle at
J D Croom'3 drugstore.
Their Business Bocmfng.
Probably no on,e thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at J. D. Croom's
drng store as their iviag awny to thwir cus
tomers of so many free trial bottles of Dr.
: Kings New Discovery for Consumption. His
trade is aimply euormous m this very valua
ble article from the fact that it alwa3-s cures
and never uiappoiuts. Coughs, colds, Asth
ma. Bronchitis, croup, and all throit and
Inng diseases quickly enred. You can test
It before buying by getting atrial bottle free,
iarge size $1. Every bottle warranted.
